This is a great puppet! It is not as big as I thought it would be, but if it were any larger it would extend past my elbow and make it difficult to control. From head to top of the tail is as long as my arm to the elbow, the tail is almost as long as the body. I would guess that it is close to lifesize, but not a lot of stuffing, so it is not heavy. The tail also has "beads" in it to weight it down so it hangs properly - nice touch. Most of the puppet is made with craft fur. The red on its chest and legs has black "roots" which gives it a "real" look. The beak and feet are made out of black vinyl that is a little stiff, so it is durable but a little hard to control. The space for your hand in the beak is a little large (for a woman's hands), so that makes it also hard to control, but there was some paper in there when it arrived - maybe I was supposed to leave that in? The tail and legs cover the armhole nicely, so it looks real. There are also little holes built into its legs so you can make him dance!

Overall, this is another great puppet by Folkmais. I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought this item for my Church VBS and everyone I have showed it to loves it!! I highly recommend it!

This puppet appears to be high quality and durable. It is large and quite impressive. The puppet aspects of it might be hard to use for small hands but I did not buy it to use as a toy, rather as a display item.

My 4-year old daughter has spent hours with this "mommy" macaw and another smaller plush macaw, playing pretend games with them.

This is a really cute puppet. it has two types of fur on it and leather feet and beak along with a long, wonderful tail. However, I can't help but being a little disappointed in it. You can't move the feet or the wings. The only hole is to move the beak and since it is leather, it can't move that much.

Really cute and good for people who can't have macaws but want one, I just wish the wings moved.

But don't get me wrong, it is super life-like and cute and I am so glad I bought it.

My daughter wanted this puppet as soon as she saw it and I bought it for her birthday. She already had a miniature goat and a donkey puppet from the same company, and we have so much fun with them. The macaw has already developed quite a personality and thinks everything is "glorious." These wonderful Folkmanis puppets are beautifully made and really encourage imagination.

After reading other reviews before ordering, I have to agree the details to this puppet. Actually got it to "play" with my "real" macaw scarlet, but it's too nice let Zach anywhere near it (though he was very interested in it). I can't say how durable it would be for play. The puppet is sitting on a bookcase looking down, so not being handled much. It appears to be durable. It is snuggly too.

I ordered this Scarlet Macaw Puppet for my daughter's 5th birthday and she loved it! She immediately started chatting with it and even slept with it that night. High quality and a great gift for anyone that loves birds!

The parrot is amazingly realistic. I bought it as a joke really, but was really impressed with it's detail. Scattered among the red feathers were occasional black and grey feathers in the tail area.. I've bought a lot of stuffed animals but this one was really the most beautiful.

My 2 year old niece has a thing for parrots but boy are they hard to find toys or stuffed animals of! The one's I did find all were hard plastic and required batteries. I liked that this was plush so she could cuddle with it. I know a puppet may be a little advanced for her but I figured it would be one of those things that she could grow with. Everyone had a favorite stuffed animal right? It shipped fast and was a big hit on Christmas. Thanks!

my sons had so much fun with it an it is fun for the family
